A Good Road bike To Cycle To School On?

I’m 12 years old, nearly 13, and I’m looking for a good road bike to cycle to school on. I’m small for my age at 148cm. I’ve been cycling on the road for ages now. I want the price to be around £200 ish (can be more or less)
Don’t recommend a mountain bike. Cheers

It’s hard to find a new decent road bike for that price. I would buy used. You can find a vintage steel road bike under £100, and get it tuned up at a bike shop for under £100. When I was 13, I loved the feel and speed of classic road bikes. They will be faster than comfort or bmx bikes. Some good 80s brands- Colnago, Cinelli, Nishiki, Univega, Peugeot. You can also find more recent used entry level bikes for that cost without accounting for tuneup, like the Trek 1000 or Giant OCR3.
